Planning a wedding can be frustrating, especially if you find yourself around the wrong crowd. Even with perfect planning, bad vendors or vendors you're not in sync with can completely disrupt your wedding.

So how do you avoid getting entrapped in a terrible nest? Here's how: 

 

Do Your Homework Thoroughly 

First, start with the basics. The most important thing on your list is the number of guests and your budget. You wouldn't want to be in a situation where you fall in love with a vendor and realise they are too expensive for you.

 

Determine Whether You're In Sync

Sometimes, all it takes is bad vibes between you and your vendor and your wedding ceremony gets affected. Make sure you're comfortable with your vendor before working with them. 

 

Get Everything In Details

To understand the quoted price list given to you, get the vendor to itemize everything down to the last detail. For instance, if you're adding a touch of white to your bouquet, it should be stated.  

While this may look over the top, it saves you from unnecessary issues that come with planning. Also, if you have to sign a contract, make sure you look out for additional costs or expenses.

 

Work With Trusted Companies That Offer All-Inclusive Packages

Making a budget and meeting with different vendors can be exhausting. One of the easiest ways out is to get a company that can offer you an all-inclusive package.  

When searching for certified companies that offer these services, do your research thoroughly. Ask questions, cross-check with referrals and check out past reviews. 

Luckily, Sugar Weddings & Parties also offer these services for affordable fees. Additionally, Sugar is currently offering couples the opportunity to win a free all-expense paid honeymoon to Cape Verde or Dubai when they buy the packages!
